MBlend27 to CCF.....

Hi, John1.

It looks to me like MBlend27 would like the CCF experts to comment on the spaces in between the letters of 'TRUST'in relation to the other spacing of letters in the IGW_.

Thanks.

Looks normal for this year:

Figuring in reduction from die polishing. (that makes them a little smaller the normal)

It looks normal. The spacing may be a little different for the word TRUST, but it's the coin's design, not an error. Here's an animation of your coin with another image of a 1920. You can see that the spacing is the same.

Also the light removes the darker areas that make it look even smaller than normal.

Look at the first coin on the left. It is a Wheat cent. But not how coin wrapper damage pretty much took out most of TRUST. This may have happen to a lesser degree on your coin. Note the distortion of the first 'T' on Yokozuna gif image? Possibly damage from wrapper or vending machine damage.

I don't think it is coin wrapper damage. Looks pretty normal to me.

The two images he overlapped to show that look the same, or of the same penny, I just took it with the flash on, I have compared it to other 1920 pennies, and the tea is definitely further out.

Sorry no edit button, I had not uploaded the non-flash non-edited version, so he must've actually taken another 1920 and compared it with my flash on an edited photo (while keeping the same background, which threw me off)

But if you look at the image without the flash, it really looks like there's a larger space.

Thanks again guys!
